tions, perform troubleshooting in the order given below.
(a) Check oxygen sensor operation.
(See page FI±129)
(b) See the table below for possible causes, and then inspect
and correct the applicable causes if necessary.
1. Faulty ignition:

2. Incorrect valve clearance
3. Leaky EGR valve
4. Leaky intake and exhaust valves
5. Leaky cylinder
1. Restricted air filter

wFaulty pressure regulator
wClogged fuel return line
wDefective water temp. sensor
wDefective air temp. sensor
wFaulty ECU
wFaulty injector
wFaulty cold start injector
wFaulty throttle position sensor
wAir flow meter 1. Vacuum leak:
wPCV hose
wEGR valve

Alternately loosen and remove No. 3 bearing cap bolts 9
and 10.
HINT:
wAs bearing cap bolts 9 and 10 are loosened, check that the
camshaft is being lifted out straight and level.
wIf the camshaft is not being lifted out straight and level, tighten
bearing cap bolts 9 and 10. Then reverse the order of above
steps from (f) to (a) and reset the knock pin of the intake cam-
shaft at 10 ± 45° BTDC, and repeat the steps from (b) and (g)
once again.
NOTICE: Do not pry on or attempt to force the camshaft
with a tool or other object.
(h) Remove the No. 3 bearing cap and exhaust camshaft.
B. Remove intake camshaft
(a) Set the knock pin of the intake camshaft at 80 ± 115°
BTDC of camshaft angle.
NOTE: The above angle allows No. 1 and No. 3 cylinder
cam lobes of the intake camshaft to push their valve lifters
evenly.(b) Secure the exhaust camshaft sub±gear to main gear
with a service bolt.
Recommended service bolt:
Thread diameter6 mm
Thread pitch 1.0 mm
Bolt length 16 ± 20 mm (O.63 ± 0.79 in.)
HINT: When removing the camshaft, make certain that
the torsional spring force of the sub±gear has been elimi-
nated by the above operation.
(e) Uniformly loosen and remove bearing cap bolts 3 to 8
in several passes in the sequence shown.
HINT: Do not remove the No. 3 bearing cap bolts at this
stage.
(f) Remove the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 bearing cap.(c) Remove rear bearing cap bolts 1 and 2.
(d) Remove the rear bearing cap.

(b) Secure the exhaust camshaft sub±gear to the driven
gear with a service bolt.
Recommended service bolt:
Thread diameter 6 mm
Thread pitch 1.0 mm
Bolt length 16 ± 20 mm (0.63 ± 0.79 in.)
HINT: When removing the camshaft, make certain that
the torsional spring force of the sub±gear has been
eliminated by the above operation. 32. REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD COVERS
Remove the six nuts, seal washers, cylinder head cover and
gasket. Remove the two cylinder head covers.
33. REMOVE SPARK PLUG TUBE GASKETS
Remove the six tube gaskets.
34. REMOVE CAMSHAFTS
NOTICE: Since the thrust clearance of the. camshaft is
small, the camshaft must be held level while it is being re-
moved. If the camshaft is not kept level, the portion of the
cylinder head receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be
damaged, causing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid
this, the following steps should be carried out.
A. Remove exhaust camshaft of RH cylinder head
(a) Align the timing marks (two pointed marks) of the camshaft
drive and driven gears by turning the camshaft with a
wrench.
